With the entry deadline quickly approaching, we have BIG NEWS from the tounament directors:  We are now using online registration and event management features to provide a convenient and efficient way for you to enter the event and track the results.  We are using services provided by a sister web site to get this up and running.  To go directly to the online registration page, click here and follow the steps to register.  Since this is being hosted by a sister site, you may have to create a profile there first, but it is quick and easy, and FREE!   We still welcome all  those who want to use a printable entry form but if you wish to enter online, you can now do so!

The conflict between the "United States Handball Association" (USHA) and the "World Players of Handball" (WPH) has been brewing for quite a while now.  The Colorado Handball Association has put together a Position Statement paper and have urged the respective executive board members to resolve their conflict.  For the sake of the sport of handball, we are now asking all our web site visitors to review the documents we have assembled about this conflict and then take action in whatever form you can to help get this conflict resolved.  We have some suggested actions you might take, including voicing your opinion in our poll, sending feedback to the "deciders", or sending your personal email directly to them.  We have all the details here.

In the form of pictures submitted by Ron Bronner, if you take the time to wander through the photos, you will find the winners and losers.  Like an Easter Egg hunt!  As you view the slide show, you can open any picture full size in its own window just by clicking on the picture itself.

We have added a new section to your Colorado Handball Association web site, as you can see from the top menu item "Regional News".  The new section will feature articles submitted by our Regional Neighbors, and is dedicated to providing web space to promote news about the handball events and happenings that are closer to the home courts of those players who don't get to visit our state as often as we'd like to have them here.  Check out the first submission from Dave Coulie (NM).

Your web site for handball in Colorado now supports Web Slices - a feature of IE 8.  If you have IE 8, look for the slices that can make your handball life on the web a little quicker, such as the Current News and  Users Online sections on this page, and the Event Calendar list on the Upcoming Events page.

President Ron has some very nice words to say about Robo's tourney.  read more ...
